MongoDB Atlas

Some applications need document storage instead of relational databases. MongoDB Atlas provides managed MongoDB clusters across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Gigalixir connects to Atlas clusters the same way any other client does.

Standard Connection Strings: Set your Atlas connection URL as a Gigalixir config var. Libraries like mongodb_driver and mongodb_ecto connect without modification.

Network Access: Gigalixir provides static outbound IPs for database connections. Add them to your Atlas IP access list and your application connects securely.

Region Matching: Deploy your Gigalixir app in the same cloud region as your Atlas cluster. Lower latency, lower data transfer costs, better performance.

TLS By Default: All connections to Atlas use TLS encryption. Gigalixir supports the connection parameters Atlas requires for secure access.
